How to change fuel lines

[GTiR-Aholic]

Hi Guys,

I found a major problem.. start the engine and fuel is dripping below the tank.. traced it to the lines under the fuel pump cover in the boot.. 2 of 3 pipes there have splits in them.

I have temporarily fixed them with heat-wrap/shrink-wrap stuff.. it's done the trick but I've ordered 10ft of 9mm stainless steel braided fuel hose to replace them with..

My question - How on earth do you change them??! lol.. I can't see where they go :doh:

Drop the sub frame and take the tank out .

Yep i think thats the only way,also i think the hose size is 8mm on the tank.You will proberly be alright as i used 8.7mm -6 and it tightened up but 8mm is the right size really.

I was afraid you'd say that..

Yeh I thought it would be roughly 8mm-ish but wanted to go 9mm just incase as I'm sure it'll tighten ok with jubilees.. I hope so anyway lol - Thanks guys
